4-in-1 Cooking
A multi-purpose benchtop appliance, Panasonic’s 31L Convection Microwave boasts 4-in-1 cooking methods which includes: steam cooking, bake, grill and microwave. Powering these four methods of cooking is convection technology and inverter technology.

• Convection technology: uses microwave heating with the cooking power of an oven to provide the crispy results you know and love from ovens.
• Inverter technology: provides gradual and consistent heat to produce evenly cooked dishes, inside and out.

Spacious Flatbed Design
Unlike traditional microwaves that have a turntable, this 31L microwave has a flatbed design that enables cooking with larger plates and trays. While a turntable spins when in operation which may limit the size of the cookware, a flatbed design is the opposite. A flatbed microwave does not need any spinning and so a bigger plate or tray can be used with no limitations.

Plentiful Functions
The microwave’s 4-in-1 cooking lets you enjoy various results whether you’re steaming vegetables and fish, grilling meats like steak or chicken, baking treats like bread and cakes, or reheating last night’s takeaway. The 36 Auto Programs also makes one-touch cooking, stress-free.

Simple Controls
Start up your desired cooking process with effortless touch controls on the glass panel and view the cooking progress on the white LED LCD display. The microwave cavity’s rails enable a second tray or wire rack for multi-tier cooking, so you can cook two dishes simultaneously. The easy-pull drop down door offers easy access to the cavity in a space-saving way. Cook, eat and clean up effortlessly with the easy clean flat surface, plus, with the flatbed design, there’s no need to remove a separate turntable for washing.
